John James (c. 1673 – 15 May 1746) was a British architect particularly associated with Twickenham in west London where he rebuilt St Mary’s Church and also built a house for James Johnson Secretary of State for Scotland later Orleans House and since demolished. Howard Colvin’s assessment of him was that of a competent architect but he lacked inventive fancy and his buildings are for the most part plain and unadventurous in design.
